LAND USE PLANNING 


This pamphlet has been issued to assist in accom¬ 
plishing the fundamental object of the Resettle¬ 
ment Administration -'to bring about the best use 
of our land resources. If further settlement is 
to be successful, it must be on land that offers 
opportunities for success. 

In various areas the Land Use Planning Section is 
engaged in land classification and other studies 
*f the suitability of land for agricultural or 
other uses. The facts obtained Are being made 
available as rapidly as possible, not only to help 
new settlers but also to assist in making the best 
and most profitable use of land in the areas. 

For further information regarding this work in 
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington address the Land 
Use Planning Section, Resettlement Administration, 
Mayer Building, Portland, Oregon.

SUGGESTIONS TO PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS IN 


4 . 


IDAHO , WASHINGTON , AND OREGON 
Prepared by 

Land Use Planning Section, Land Utilization Division 
Resettlement Administration, Region XI 


The states of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon offer a wide variety of 
living conditions and farming opportunities. Because of this variety 
it is desirahle that the prospective settler choose his location with 
much care. This pamphlet has been prepared to give information to 
prospective settlers that will assist them in deciding ■where they should 
locate and what type of farming they should engage in. 

The information given in this pamphlet is necessarily very general¬ 
ized. It is designed to give a bird*s-cye view of conditions and types 
of farming in the region as a whole. Persons interested in a particular 
area should carefully investigate weather conditions, soil maps , types 
cf farming , and other data pertaining to that particular locality. Spec¬ 
ific inf ormation about'local areas may be obtained from County Agricul¬ 
tural Extension Agents , or from ' the~~Rui < 'aT Rehabilitation Supervisors of 
the Resettlement Administration . The names and addresses of these state 
and federal representatives are given on pages 17 to 20. 

The location and names of counties and county seats in each state 
are shown in the map on page 5, 

The three states are divided by the Cascade Mountain'Range into two 
main parts. The part lying west'of the Cascade Mountains, referred to 
as western'Washington and Oregon, is characterized by milder climatic 
conditions, heavier rainfall, end as a result of the heavier rainfall, 
dense forest growth in the undeveloped areas. The part lying east nf' the 
Cascades, consisting of Idaho, eastern Washington, and eastern Oregon, 
is characterized by more extreme temperatures, less rainfall, less dense 
forests, and extensive areas of open grazing land. 


Topography 


Tho elevation in those states varies from sea level to mountain 


Acknowledgments s Much of tho information presented in this pamphlet 
has been compiled'from publications of thbv Agricultural Experiment 
Stations of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, U.S. Weather Bureau, U. S.

peaks of over 12,000 feet. Variation in elevations and the location of 
the principal valleys, plateaus, and mountain areas is shown in the map on 
page 7, A considerable part of all three states is rough mountainous 
country. Farming is carried on chiefly in the valleys and on level or 
rolling bench lands. 


Climate 


There* is wide variation in climatic conditions between various 
areas in the three states. Some idea of this variation may be obtained 
from the precipitation and growing season maps on pages 8 and 9, These 
climatic variations have an important influence on the types of farm¬ 
ing which are adapted to the various areas. 

Rainfall , The total annual precipitation varies from less than 
ten inches in parts of Idaho, eastern Washington and eastern Oregon, 
to over 100 inches in places in western Washington and Oregon, Most 
of the precipitation in these states occurs in the fall, winter, and 
spring seasons, with very little summer r&infall such as occurs in the 
middle western and eastern states. Hence, except where irrigation 
is practiced, crops must be matured on moisture which is stored in the 
soil during the heavier rainfall periods. This climatic characteristic 
eliminates from crop production many thousands of acres cf shallow hill 
soils which have a low moisture holding capacity. 

Because of the light rainfall, either dry-farming methods or 
irrigation are'necessary for successful farming inmost parts of 
southern Idaho, central Washington, and eastern and southern Oregon, 

In most parts of western Oregon and Washington irrigation is not nec¬ 
essary if farming is confined to the deepor soils, but in many 
instances some supplemental irrigation, cvon on the deeper soils, will 
pay good returns. 

Although the map on page 8 shows average annual precipitation in 
a generalized manner, careful investigation"of this and othor condi¬ 
tions should be made in specific localities. Consideration also should 
be given to seasonal distribution of rainfall and to variation in rain¬ 
fall from year to year. 

Temperatures . Parts of Idaho and eastern Washington and Oregon 
have'occasional winter temperatures as low as 20 or 30 degrees below 
zero, and in most summers havo several days with temperatures that 
oxcood 100 degreos. In the districts along the coast in western 
Washington and Oregon, on the other hand, winter temperatures seldom 
go below freozing or summer temperatures above 90 degrees. The areas 
between tho Coast Mountains and the Cascade Mountains in both Washing¬ 
ton and Ordgqn are between those extreme sets of conditions, with only

occasional winters when the temperature goes as low as zero and few 
days in the summer irthen the temperature goes as high as 100 degrees. 

Wights are usually cool in the summer throughout all three states, 
and low humidity makes the summer temperatures loss oppressive than 
similar temperatures in the middle west and oast. 

Growing season . Shorter growing seasons are found oast of the 
Cascade Range. Frost may occur every month of tho yoar in certain 
localities, particularly'those of high altitudes, while in certain 
locations noar tho Coast, there are winters entirely without killing 
frost. There is a groat deal of local variation in the length of 
tho growing season on both sides of the Cascade Range. 

The growing season map is, of course, quite generalized, and frost 
pockets and other variations will be found in localized areas that 
cannot be shown on the map. 


Soils 

% 

Soils in these states vary from very highly productive soils to 
those that are worthless for farming purposes. In the western 
part of Washington and Oregon, especially, very good and very poor 
soils are often found on the same farm. Soils that are particularly 
undesirable for forming are shallow hill soils, that dry out quickly 
in the summer, and flat, heavy, poorly drained soils. 

Because of the lack of summer rainfall, it is important that soils 
have high moisture retentive qualities. Many of the upland soils are 
lacking in this respect. In the spring and early summer such land 
may . present an excellent appearance, with luxuriant vegetation, but 
may dry out completely during the summer months. The color of the 
soil alone is not, as in some parts of the country, a reliable indica¬ 
tion of its value. 

In the irrigated districts very sandy soils are to be avoided,as 
they require tin excessive amount of irrigation water. On some of 
the lower lying land seepage and alkali are often serious problems. 

In some'of the wheat farming areas there is serious danger from 
soil erosion, and areas in which there is evidence of soil blowing 
should be avoided. 

Settlers contemplating the purchr.se of land should core fully 
inspect each individual tract and unless familiar with the soil 
types,, should obtain competent advice regarding them. This may be 
obtained from the County Agricultural Agents and in many areas from 
the Rural Rehabilitation Supervisors of the Resettlement Administra¬ 
tion. Soil survey reports are available for several counties in

each state. Where available they may be consulted in the office of the 
County Agent or Rehabilitation Supervisor, 


Types of Farming 

The map on page 12 gives an indication of the predominating types 
of farming in the principal farming districts. More detailed infor¬ 
mation may be obtained from publications of the State Agricultural 
Experiment Stations, especially the following: 

Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station, Moscow, Idaho

cultural Resources and Factors Affecting 
Their Use,

in Oregon. 

As has been pointed out much of these three states consists of 
forest-covered mountains and hills, and extensive areas of grazing 
land. Farming is carried on in valleys and other areas with soils 
and topography that are suitable for cultivation. 

Western Washington and Oregon . Farming in western Washington 
and Oregon is mostly non-irrigated xvith the exception of the Rogue 
River and tributary vdlleys in'southwestern Oregon. Throughout western 
Washington and Oregon, however, the practice of supplementary irriga¬ 
tion during the dry summer months is rapidly Increasing. 

Dairying is the principal type of farming in the coast sections. 
The farms are located chiefly on reclaimed tide lands and in small 
but very fertile valleys within a few miles of the ocean. The land 
is used chiefly for pasture, which can be grazed for nine or ton

months, and for hay production. 

Between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges farming is more 
diversified, hut even in this area dairying is a leading enterprise. 

On soils that are adapted there is considerable production of 
special crops such as walnuts, filberts, prunes, hops, fiber flax, 
peppermint, bulbs, berries, and various seed crops. Commercial egg 
production is an important enterprise in both western Washington and 
Oregon. 

Pry-farming . The principal "dry-farming" region consists of the 
Columbia Basin in north-central Oregon and central and southeastern 
Washington. By "dry-farming" is meant a specialized type of farming 
adapted to conditions of lev/ rainfall. The land is usually planted 
to wheat every other year and is summer fallowed in the alternate years 
to make plant food available and conserve moisture. There are 
smaller areas of dry-farming in other parts of eastern Washington, 
eastern Oregon, and southern Idaho. 

West of, and adjacent to the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla and 
Columbia Counties and extending through eastern Whitman County to 
southeastern Spokane County in Washington, and in adjacent areas in 
Idaho, more diversification is practicable in connection with wheat 
raising, through crop rotations including field peas and legume hays, 

Northern Idaho Sind Northeastern Washington . Diversified farming, 
mostly non-irrigated, is practiced in the valleys in northern Idaho 
and northeastern ‘Washington. Some of these valleys have the draw¬ 
backs of rather short growing seasons and inaccessibility to markets. 

Irrigation farming . Irrigated areas are scattered throughout 
central and eastern Washington, eastern and southern Oregon, and 
southern Idaho, The smaller irrigated valleys are used mostly to raise 
hay for the wintering of range cattle and sheep. In the larger valleys 
farming varies'from general and dairy farming, with alfalfa hay the 
principal crop, to highly specialized production of fruits and vege¬ 
tables where soils and climatic conditions are especially adapted to 
these crops. 

Fruits and vegetables . Important tree fruit districts are the 
Wenatchee and Yakima Valleys in Washington, the Payette, Boise, and 
Weiser Valleys in southwestern Idaho, and the Hood River and Rogue 
River Valleys in Oregon, Small fruits are raised extensively in 
western Washington and western Oregon, especially in the Willamette 
Valley. Potato raising is especially important in the irrigated 
areas in southern Idaho; the Yakima Valley, Washi listen; and

Deschutes, Crook, and Klamath Counties in Oregon. Sugar beets and 
beans are important crops in southern Idaho. 

Truck crop raising has developed in a number of areas through¬ 
out all three states where conditions are especially favorable. 

Fruits and vegetables require highly specialized conditions as 
to soil and location, and within the general areas mentioned only 
certain soils and localities are adapted. Exact locations can be 
selected only by careful personal inspection and investigation. 

Range livestock . Rangb cattle end sheep production is carried' 
on throughout most of Idaho, eastern'Washington, and eastern Oregon, 
with the exception of the wheat belt, and to a limited extent in 
western Washington and Oregon. The stock are grazed on open range 
lands and also in the forest areas which are largely included in forest 
reserves, supervised by the U, S, Forest Service, Since available 
range lands are quite fully utilized there is practically no oppor¬ 
tunity for development of new range livestock enterprises by new 
settlers. 

Farm sheep are kept in the general forming areas throughout 
the three states. Goats are raised chiefly in western Oregon for 
mohair production and to assist in land clearing. 


Settlement Opportunities 

In nearly all of the principal agricultural areas there are 
opportunities for the farmer with cash resources to buy developed or 
partly developed farms. In general it is more desirable for a new 
settler to purchase a developed and going farm than to buy raw land 
and attempt to develop it. The improved farm starts producing an 
income and a living immediately and also can usually be purchased at 
a cost that is less than the original cost of the raw land the develop¬ 
ment and' improvement of it. Settlers who undertake the development of 
raw land, especially logged-off land, should reckon with the cost of 
the development and the necessity of having an income and a living from 
some other source until sufficient land has been brought under cultiva¬ 
tion to produce a living. 

Homesteading . All government land has been closed to home¬ 
steading by executive order of the President. In general the govern¬ 
ment lands that are left are not suited to farming. If they were 
worth farming, they would have been taken up years ago. 

Logged- off land . Host of tlie log god-off land is very

difficult Gild expensive to clear. The cost of cleari^ varies from 
$50 to $250 per atre depending upon the number and size of stumps 
and method tf clearing used. Bottom land is more likely to be worth 
clearing than hill'land a3 the hill land is often shallow, drouthy, 
subject to erosion, or low in fertility. It is much easier to clear 
a piece tf land if the brush is slashed and burned and the land seeded 
tlown and pastured ftr a few years than to clear it immediately after 
slashing, Htwever, when land is needed for crop production, this is 
not always possible. One usually cannot expect to clear more than 
two to five acres per year by hi 3 #wn work. 

New irrigated lands . Considerable new irrigated land will bo 
available during 1 9%6 ond 1037 under the Owyhee and Vale Irrigation 
Projocts i» Malheur County, Oregon and Canyon County, Idaho. Infor¬ 
mation all out these lands may be obtained from the Owyhee Irrigation 
District, Nyssa, Oregon, New irrigated land also gs available in the 
upper Kittitas Valley in Washington, and limited acreages in various 
other irrigated districts throughout the three states. 

In tho Upper Snake River irrigated districts in Idaho, and in cer¬ 
tain other areas, there are possibilities of obtaining farms through 
subdivision of large holdings of developed land. 

Employment o pportunities . At the present time prospects are 
poor for new settlers to obtain supplementary employment in the 
lumber or other industries in this region. In most areas there are 
already more workers than'neoded; Short-time seasonal work usually 
is available in the fruit, grain, truck, and hop raising areas. 


Requirements for Success 

It would bo highly desirable if a new settler o<puld rent a farm 
for a year *r **re in order to become familiar with conditions before 
investing in & farm. This is rather difficult to do at the present 
time, however, because of the numerous local people desirous of rent¬ 
ing available farms. 

Size of farm . In western Oregon and Washington and in the 
irrigated districts there are comparatively few farms with less ' 
than forty acres of tillable land, oven of the better soil types, 
that will provide sufficient income for a minimum family living. 

To make a living on a smaller acreage necessitates an intensive type 
of farming such as poultry raising or fruit or vegetable growing. 

In the dry-farming areas the necessary size of farm will vary 
from let aore3 of crop land'in the better areas, where some 
diversification is possible, to a seotion or more in the areas of

less rainfall and lower yields. In northern Idaho and northeastern 
Washington it is desirable to have at least 60 to 80 acres of crop 
land. 


land values . Land values vary from a few dollars per acre for 
undeveloped land to a thousand dollars or more per acre for highly 
developed fruit or vegetable land. It is impossible in a publica¬ 
tion of this nature to give any indication of how much land actually 
is worth for farming, as this must be determined for every individual 
tract. It may be said, however, that often the lowest priced land will 
prove the least profitable in the long run, A higher price for developed 
land may prove in the end to be much cheaper than buying low priced, 
undeveloped land and then incurring the expense of developing and 
improving. 

Capital requirements , A capital investment of at least five or 
six thousand dollars is usually necessary for a farm business that 
wiTl provide an income sufficient for even a minimum family living. 

Most settlers should have at 1 east half of this amount to start with, 
in order to make a down payment on a farm, obtain necessary stock 
and equipment, and provide living expenses until a crop is produced. 

Many farmers with limited capital will find it more satisfactory to 
rent if possible than to buy a farm with a small down payment. Cheap, 
partly cleared hill farms should be avoided, for these farms are 
usually difficult to develop and in many cases are inadequate even 
when fully developed because of poor soil and rough topography. 

Public facilities , Careful consideration should be given to 
accessibility to public facilities such as good roads, schools, 
churches, and telephone and power lines. Many settlers have become 
dissatisfied and unsuccessful because they have settled in locations 
that are too isolated and inaccessible. Usually it will be found 
to be poor economy to buy cheap land in out-of-the-way places. 


Consult the County Agent or Re habi1it ation Supervisor 

One of the first things that new settlers and prospective set¬ 
tlers should do is to consult the County Agricultural Agent in the 
county in which they are interested. He is the most reliable source 
of information as to farming conditions and methods in the locality. 
Lists nf the County Agents in each state are given on the following 
pagos. 

In counties in which they are located, assistance may also be 
obtained from the Rural Rehabilitation Supervisors of the Resettle¬ 
ment Administration, who are also listed on page 20.
